Description

KitVersion records which Domino / Notes major version was last installed. Patch and FixPack installers, but also monitoring / inventory tools, use this value to check compatibility or to keep a precise version inventory. The version actually reported at runtime (show server) can deviate after hotfixes, but the kit value remains as the “install level.”

Example configuration

KitVersion=14.5

Notes & pitfalls

  • The value is updated only by the installer – do not change manually.
  • A good mandatory entry for CMDB / asset inventories.
  • Does not necessarily match Build / Release from show server once hotfixes have been applied.
  • Complements KitType for clean classification.
